[QUOTE="mo1905, post: 511117, member: 55195"] Catherine is correct, the statin jury is still out. I was put on statins as a preventitive measure as over 40 but my cholesterol was fine. I stopped taking them of my own choice. However, if my levels rose and I actually needed them I would take them as I was fortunate enough not to suffer any major side effects apart from some loss of leg strength. Whatever you decide, research it yourself and discuss with your doc.
